Re: The Meaning of Providence -- Message on book of Job
I am used to, by now, giving up sins because the Lord rebukes me. I had an Adult fan-fiction up on the net nearly a year now, that I wrote in the middle of my winter
Depression last year, which was inspired by a first piece, called 'A Different Sky' (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/1188546/1/). The story is based off a seconday charachter in the popular 'Sonic the Hedgehog' (http://www.planetdreamcast.com/sonic/), game, book, cartoon, and comic series.
'A Different Sky' has been unbelievably popular. you're welcome to read it or my other pieces, which you can find by browsing to my authorname on that web account.
I don't, however, ever want to write or draw anything of a sexual nature and publish it, ever again. I still, still struggle with it.... ... .. There now, deleted the last traces of the Adult story.
... and the artwork that should not be.
*sigh* Ahhh.. the wilder things of life. I nearly want to call myself 'Wild Child' (http://www.seeklyrics.com/lyrics/ENYA/Wild-Child.html) or 'Magician/Sorceress of Information' (http://www.geocities.com/Area51/Shire/5014/humphrey.html) from the Xanth (http://www.hipiers.com/xanth.html) series. Try the books, you'll absolutely adore them, and there are /always/ copies in used book stores. Several of mine have covers falling off, or the pages falling out.
Yes, I'm farmiliar with the book of Job (http://bible.gospelcom.net/passage/?search=Job%201:1;&version=31;), and I've read it as deeply as I can. I am nearly an expert on Genesis, an avid reader of Revelations, and not teetering left or right in matters of faith. this is nearly my third year of TBF (Trial By Fire), and I'm unbelievably glad for it. I speak nearly fluent Danish, and am 1 year away from graduating the final, optional module of Danish education for writing (perfectly). It is one of my many conquests, and I am chasing it down like a rabbit.
Shining .. Shining is not easy, but it's worth it. Last June I prayed for a heart like Christ, because I want nothing more. And yes, I knew what I was in for. I feel like I should have all of it - or none - and once begun, nevermore should I have the old crap.
The closest members of my congregation were there with me, in a very, very small biblestudy. They prayed to rebuke evil thoughts and the devil. It scared the living daylights out of my husband, and he's still recovering. He has excuses upon excuses not to go to church, and I have been nearly the same, but I perservere for the sake of my life.

But one thing troubles me: The supposed validity of the KJV, above all other bible editions. There are two passages which appear to have been altered between the KJV and the NIV/other standard versions. Let me see if I can find it ... Ah! It seems there is a very nice, solid answer here: (http://www.atlantaapologist.org/kjv.html)
I was unbelievably blessed in ChristChurch of Atlanta. I still have a CD of all their sermons. And their address. Ugh! I must mail them! ... ... Okay, done. Love those guys. Big congregation, really on fire.
On to other things now.
Again, a really big thank-you!
